Why does the huge country India have an interest in tiny Gibraltar? The High Commissioner of India to the UK is on the Rock. Vikram Doraiswami has been speaking at an event at the Finance Centre Boardroom with The Financial Services Minister Nigel Feetham and industry professionals.


OTWO were the winners of the Gibtelecom Business Innovation Awards. The company organises a magazine, the Eco Festival and Green Week. We spoke to Vanessa Byrne and Margherita Haiduk.


Jose Mari Ruiz brought us up to speed with local sports, as the women’s squad prepare for their last nations league matches, the latest in the badminton nationals, a visit from Taekwondo Grand Master Neil Guest, and a 8 ball pool tournament for GBC Open Day.


Beauty with a purpose: Miss Gibraltar Shania Ballester is one of 108 contestants from around the globe who will compete for the Crown of Miss World 2025. Tomorrow's grand finale in Hyderabad, India will be broadcast live on GBC. So, how will Shania be feeling ahead of the occasion? Who better to ask than someone who's, not only lived it, but worn the crown too - Kaiane Lopez. 


The Muga Sports Complex is the place to be tonight for Back to the Classics! After the roaring success of last year's show, this time they're going bigger and better! It’s a collaboration of the best local musicians covering classic hits from the ???? to the noughties! We asked organiser Dion Mifsud whether the stage is set for tonight.


And, Bloomsday, a day to celebrate the works of James Joyce, is just around the corner! His most famous work Ulysees has strong ties with the Rock, with the character Molly Bloom being a llanita! Patrick Sacarello, known for his love of art, has brought PJ Murphy to Gibraltar to help develop Bloomsday locally in the future. PJ runs one of the Joycean centres in Dublin at Sweny’s (the chemist that appears in Ulysses) and is heavily involved in the Bloomsday festival in Dublin.
